It wasn't yet dawn when Wu Yongchao heard a knock at the door. He went out to see and found a beautiful young lady standing at the entrance.
It was deep into the night, and suddenly a young lady came knocking. She was so pretty, and her smile so sweet. This is clearly... clearly a painting.
This was a painting meticulously crafted by Li Banfeng. It could easily deceive ordinary people, but Wu Yongchao was a Fourth Layer Home Cultivation and notably skilled in painting himself. Attempting to fool him with this method fell rather short.
The lady handed Wu Yongchao two hemp sacks and a letter. After reading the letter, Wu Yongchao asked the lady, "Where has the Fortress Lord gone? This matter is so important, why send you to deliver the message?"
The lady covered her mouth and giggled, but said nothing. This was because Li Banfeng hadn't painted her a mouth.
...
The next day, Wu Yongchao, carrying the two hemp sacks, quietly left Iron Gate Fort and went to a nearby village.
